Watched the game from yesterday just now and man it would be great if the Yankees could score more than 2 runs.

Put me down with the M's, dammit.

Love listening to baseball in my office while I work

 

[Sanjuro]

I think that was made in 2010 or so.

 

[zroid]

Eh, I can give two-teamers a pass if each one's in a different league ;P

What if they play each other in interleague? You get one team dammit.

 

[the_firewithin]

oh minor....

 

[distantmantra]

My phone just let me know the M's scored five seconds before I heard it on the radio. Gonna have to ignore my phone...

 

[zroid]

Nobody cares about interleague.

And if your two teams happen to meet in the World Series... well good for fucking you :lol

 

[rando14]

Brad miller with an Iwakuma-like at bat lol

 

[rando14]

This home ump is the god of trash

 

[carlos]

that's a call you don't see too often (calling a bunter out because the ball hit him outside the batters box).
his body was completely out of the box, but a foot was still in it; unsure what the rule is.

 

[distantmantra]

If things continue the way they are, please let Kuma pitch the 9th inning. I can't take another Rodney blown save.

 

[CheDominik]

I see that Greg Walker took his magic from Chicago to Atlanta and nothing has changed. Hitters with no clue how to hit an outside pitch and trying to lift and pull everything.

To be fair Iwakuma is one of the best pitchers in the game...

 

[CheDominik]

To be fair Iwakuma is one of the best pitchers in the game...

He is good, but the approach of the Braves is just awful. They are exactly doing what he wants them to do. And it's not like the Braves offense is what keeps them over .500
I know it's an tired old cliche, but you have to beat pitchers like Iwakuma/Buehrle/Fister the other way.

 

[the_firewithin]

braves hit into double play.......get out

at least another TLS hit

 

[carlos]

Chris Johnson is so terrible, he's gonna be our new Uggla as soon as....well as soon as right now.

 

[distantmantra]

Nice hit, Romero! Let's get a couple insurance "Rodney gives me a heartattack" runs.

edit: Goddammit, iPhone.

 

[CheDominik]

Btw. I can't believe the draft is already tomorrow. One of Aiken/Kolek/Rodon will be in the White Sox organization tomorrow. Good thing the consensus top 3 picks are all pitchers or the Sox would have found a way to mess it up.

 

[the_firewithin]

i remember when Avilan was good. until freddy over worked him like venters who will never be the same

 

[CygnusXS]

CJ is sitting at -1.3 bWAR currently, and that doesn't include today. Uggla is -0.7 this year. Uggla was a -1.3 bWAR player over ALL of 2013.

Chris Johnson needs to go.

Didn't they just extend him?

If Carlos Rodon is still there for pick three I imagine he will be the white sox pick, otherwise I fully expect it to be Aaron Nola

I watched that special on ESPN the other day. I couldnt stop laughing, what an insane idea.

 

[carlos]

well Venters suffered more from Bobby Cox than Fredi, but yeah, Avilan now sucks.

 

[rando14]

Didnt he hit like .320 last year, probably made sense at the time I guess

I watched that special on ESPN the other day. I couldnt stop laughing, what an insane idea.

10 cent beer, no limits, understaffed, what could go wrong

 

[CheDominik]

I think all the recent Nola love is a smoke screen. Or a backup plan if there are signability issues with Rodon/Kolek/Aiken.
But Nola at underslot could also free up some money to draft someone in later rounds with signability issues like they did with Michalczewski and Engel last year. So I would be fine with that pick as well

 

[Windu]

yes

 

[unknownstranger]

Come on Cano.

it wouldn't be a money thing, it's the simple fact that he is the second highest rated non high school player and the white sox aren't huge fans of high school players (it was either rick or kenny that said there is far greater risk with them and they bust more than 50% more often then college players) The white sox don't get draft picks like this often and they will likely rather take the slightly less well received pitcher over a more risky high school player.

Beyond that the white sox are actually not only still in the running for the season, but need pitching help, and Nola could potentially take the Chris Sale route and get into the majors as a reviler in the season he is signed.
